Research
Nanophotonics
Investigation of coupling between nanocavities such as a photonic crystals or microdisks (SiN, GaAs, GaN, GaMnAs, diamond) and discrete emitters (quantum dots, nanoparticles, or impurities) may help realize quantum computing.
Solar Energy
Nanostructured materials can enable enhanced light absorption and carrier collection, ultimately leading to higher efficiency solar cells.
Bio-inspired Materials
Bio-templated materials combine the selectivity and programmability of biological systems with the optoelectronic and electronic functionality of semiconductor materials.
